it would be really helpful
if the world could just stop turning, for a moment
If I could step
   off
      for
         just
            a
              heartbeat
To catch
     my       breath
Re-tie
     my laces
tight enough 
         to keep me
                     running
    another
                 30
                     years
and straighten my back
       tall enough
       to
       hold
       my
       head
       high  
       again.

That would be really helpful.

    Ellie has been writing her whole life - journals, poems, short stories, scripts... allowing words to flow has been a constant cathartic process for her. This blog is an outlet for her writing, no more, no less.
